Bollywood’s most loved star, fondly known as the King of Romance – Shah Rukh Khan was yesterday felicitated with The Economic Times Game Changers of India – Hall of Fame award for “His Unmatched Contribution To Globalising Indian Cinema” at the ET India-UK Strategic Conclave business summit in London. It doesn’t come as a surprise since the actor has made the nation proud globally time and again.
Present in London on Tuesday, SRK attended the event, which focused on discussing economic relations between India and UK. Representing the entertainment industry, he spoke about the growth of business in the world of entertainment. He said, “The growth for Indian films has been much smaller compared to the growth of television in India. The ratio of theatres to the audience area is still very small, we have very few theatres compared to the audience we can garner. In the interiors of India, there are not many screens for people to go and I think there is a huge market here for entrepreneurs to get into making low-cost theatres.”

Accepting the prestigious honour, SRK said, “I take this opportunity to thank a lot of people, actors, actresses, and audiences, for allowing me to continue unencumbered with any idea that I had, they gave me the ability to just go ahead and give it a shot, try and go wrong if I may, and more often than not they allowed me to go wrong. Business is become about millions, targets and projections, though I fully respect the managerial capacity of business, but I like to think of it as the people who work with me allowed me the imaginarily capacity, they allowed me to imagine and they managed that imagination. So, when you become a game changer you cannot take it upon yourself, there are loads of people involved and the audience as well around the world accepts you doing the stuff you do and think it’s entertaining.”
The summit was also attended by CEOs, government officials and other personalities. A coffee table book titled ‘Game Changers of India’ was also unveiled, which features Shah Rukh Khan along with other accomplished leaders.
